What should be done about preeclampsia in the late stage of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

At 37 weeks, today's blood pressure check was 120/80. The doctor mentioned it's slightly high and there's a concern about preeclampsia. Then, a urine test was conducted, and there was no swelling in the legs or feet, but the protein level was slightly elevated at 0.15 g/L.
The fetal heartbeat is normal at 142.

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women with high blood pressure should avoid taking medication, especially Western medicine. Pay attention to eating less food that is high in sugar and salt. If it's really necessary, recommended Chinese herbal medicine: Zhenju Hypertension Tablets is relatively effective for treatment.
Advice:
In daily life, it is essential to get adequate rest and ensure sufficient and high-quality sleep. When sleeping, lie on your left side to maintain normal uterine-placental blood circulation and ensure oxygen supply to the fetus. Additionally, reduce standing and elevate your feet during rest to help alleviate swelling. At the same time, pay attention to moderate exercise. For pregnant women with mild preeclampsia, it is recommended to stay in bed for more than 10 hours a day, preferably in a side-lying position, to improve blood circulation and enhance renal blood supply.
